OSOGBO — THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State, yesterday, described the sack threat by the All Progressives Congress, APC, on local government workers as harassment and the party’s penchant for lawlessness.
The reinstated local government council officials, elected on the platform of the APC, had threatened to sack council workers who failed to resume work on Monday.
Reacting to the threat, the PDP, in a statement by its Media Director, Oladele Bamiji, described the council chairmen as tools of perdition.
Bamiji said: “The copy and paste threat by the sacked chairmen, who have reduced themselves to hopeless tools of perdition in the hands of their demonic grandfathers in the APC, have once again brought to question, why the APC, right from the days of their progenitors, decided to always work at cross purposes with the wellbeing and happiness of the public workers.
The PDP also tasked security agencies to investigate APC chieftains for alleged arms buildup.
Speaking for the APC, Mr Jamiu Olawumi described the PDP as a desperate party that is ready to hold on to anything on its path to perdition.
Olawumi said: “You can see that the PDP is the one encouraging the workers to disrespect the rule of law. Their desperation at this time knows no bounds. The situation here is simple, a Court has reinstated our elected officials and if you’re dissatisfied you go to a higher court instead of inciting the workers to disobey the order of the Appeal Court.”

Oyintiloye, in a statement, said: “I want to appeal to the Federal Government to start releasing the monthly allocation to the APC reinstated council chairmen in the state as of this month.
“The chairmen were unable to work since 2022, when they were sacked, but now that the Court of Appeal has reinstated them, the allocation should be released to them. This is the time for people at the grassroots to feel the impact of government which had been neglected since 2022.
“I want to also commend the Inspector-General of Police for ensuring peace in the state.”
